Have you officially resided in New York State but outside of Onondaga County in the past year? You may be able to reduce your tuition!
By giving us your Certificate of Residence you can qualify for our lower In-State (Resident) tuition rate.
- Many counties have their own Certificate of Residence Affidavit and Application. Look up your home county Chief Financial Officer / County Treasurer and complete their Certificate of Residence Affidavit and Application.
- Otherwise, use this:
- Contact your county Chief Financial Officer/Treasury Office for further instructions on how to apply for your certificate of residence Note: On March 27,2020 New York State issued Executive Order 202.11 addressing the application/issuance of Certificates of Residence for the course of study at community colleges. The language suspends the requirement that a student obtain a Certificate of Residence within 30 days of registering for a course at a community college and allows for application and issuance of Certificates of Residence to the counties to be conducted through any means other than in-person. This will provide flexibility for the community colleges, the counties, and the students for the duration of the COVID-19 crisis.
- Once you have received your Certificate of Residence mail it to the OCC Student Accounts Office.
